A Burning Star

Paul Hicks 1964 (Chicago)

A Burning Star

My love for you is like a burning star;
it seems so close, yet so far,
for the flames of pleasure are deep inside,
so hot and beautiful and nowhere to hide.
It can only get better as time moves on.
as we share our feelings
the future is strong.

About this poem

It is about two hearts coming together and beating as one.
